More About the GRTW Gr 1 Resource

As you use the lessons in the guide, you will be building the bridge between the basic concept of the sound/symbol connection to the use of words, phrases and sentences to entertain, inform or share a personal opinion with an audience of others. The guide is laid out in genre-specific units so teachers can select appropriate lessons for a range of learners and apply those lessons to current content area material. The lessons all state clear objectives, include detailed procedures and provide a variety of templates for student writing.

Foundational concepts are built through a wide variety of lessons including: 

    • Genre and author’s purpose
    • Summarizing
    • Labeling
    • Informational writing
    • Narrative writing
    • Expressing opinions
    • Responding to text – fiction and non-fiction
    • Powerful vocabulary building

    • Research opportunities

The final section of the resource includes a series of reading/writing and art connections to make the reading-writing connection come alive in the classroom. Plus - digital K-1 posters and downloadable color coded activity cards!
